because im getting sick and tired of being branded a racist whenever i critically evaluate non-white religion/culture.

im not a racist for denouncing islam am I? no more than I am for denouncing Christianity.

but for SOME reason im branded an intolerant bigot this way

Clearly depends on what you're saying and if you're being intolerant and bigoted.

But obviously Islam should be as open to criticism as Christianity, yes.


um, muslims are not all the same skin colour...

and neither are christians!


GREY

LIKE THEIR NEUTRAL HEARTS


they are so so soooooooo related!

are you joking?


i mean, theres no causal relationship

that says if youre x colour you will be x religion

but youre an idiot if you havent realised that religion and skin colour have a pretty obvious correlation!


what religion are black africans?

south east asians?
south asians?
east asians?

i'd agree that white = christian mostly
and arab = muslim mostly

but that's it


and those were fairly arbitary and broad racial categorisations

which is a whole other thread...


actually they were more regional categorisations than anything

so yeah, answers on a postcard please


I think the vast majority of people

would care if they were called a racist in public.


It wouldn't make any difference..

..people would find other ways of being dicriminative against others.


^Precisely.

To avoid being racist, sexist or homophobic I just find other things to be prejudiced about instead.

I'm incredibly intolerant of DiSers whose usernames begin with vowels, for example.


Are you agreeing or joking around.

I'm guessing at both, you're agreeing with the general point but decided to make a joke at the same time.

Correct?


Pretty much.

My more serious answer is that I used to find "Without Prejudice?" on Channel 4 an incredibly fascinating show just because it pretty much showed everyone to have irrational prejudices of some form or other.


they would........

if you assumed that everyone would become white!!
accidental racism alert!


well going from being non-white

there's only so many options


actually shit

if we were all blue there would be limited UV protection I'd guess

we've evolved the way we have for a reason


suppose it would simplify things a bit!

but then there'd be some other shit


They will be in a few millennia.

A natty coffee colour, aparantly.

Fuck you, coffee face!


Isn't that just black?

Unless you mean milky coffee.


i fucking don't.

if everyone was white there'd be no schmexxy japanese girls.


this would never work

we'd all have to live in the same climate and have equal exposure to UV rays to ensure equal tan distribution amongst population.

too much effort.

plus it's dumb.


i'm not a racist!

my skin is all different colours because i have freckles!!

maybe if everyone had freckles the world would be a better place.
